The Gospel

Quotations

By the decree of God, for the manifestation of His glory, some men and angels are predestined unto everlasting life; and others foreordained to everlasting death.
The Westminster Confession of Faith, Ch. III:3

Those of mankind who are predestined unto life, God, before the foundation of the world was laid, according to His eternal and immutable purpose, and the secret counsel and good pleasure of His will, hath chosen in Christ unto everlasting glory, out of His mere free grace and love, without any other thing in the creature as a condition or cause moving Him thereunto.
The Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689, III:5

Jonathan Edwards

The enjoyment of [God] is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied. To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here. Fathers and mothers, husband, wives, or children, or the company of earthly friends, are but shadows; but God is the substance. These are but scattered beams, but God is the sun. These are but streams. But God is the ocean.

Why this blog?

Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another. This is the purpose of this blog! A proper study of God's truth will unlock who we are and who He is, in our short earthly existence. A truth identity of ourselves can only comes from the right and honest understanding of who God is. I hope you and I will take the time to study and renew our mind to glorify God in our progressive sanctification process. Jesus said, Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me (John 14:1).. “I am the way, and the truth, and the life (John 14:6)
